I'm taking a break from *ahem* NOT writing to work on my latest, a story tentatively titled 'Kept'. Consider it a response to The Collector although I have no idea how it ends.
I may watch my huge block of J-pop horror movies this afternoon...but sick as this girl is, I probably won't write about any of the major j-topics...incest, castration, torture (well, not in graphic detail, I tend to believe that less is more in terms of unsettling the reader), mass suicide on a train platform, etc.
*sigh* How the hell will I ever convince my kids that scary movies aren't worth sneaking into? They so, so are.

You know what the scariest moment of "misery" the book is? When in a nonchalant, almost throw away sentence the captive states that she cut his thumb off. I had to re-read it like five times to make sure I had even read it correctly. But I find the sense of desperation and acceptance in his situation, conveyed through the most simplistic wording possible, to be utterly terrifying.
So...I agree!!!
